  • New Breakthrough with Perovskite Solar Cells

    As you’re probably already aware, perovskite solar cells have the greatest potential of being the most prominent source of solar energy in the near future. They’re cheap to make and flexible enough to be applied to most any surface. And now a team of researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney,…

  • NREL improves Perovskite thin-film solar cell production scalability

    Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a new perovskite ink with a long processing window that allows the scalable production of perovskite thin films for high-efficiency solar cells. Proven highly efficient at converting sunlight into electricity, perovskite solar cells have yet toRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • Update on the commercial prospects of perovskite solar cells

    In our worst Seinfeld impersonation voice we ask, “what’s the deal with perovskite solar cells?” The National Renewable Energy Labratory (NREL) answers us by noting that a strategy for producing stable and commercially available perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been proposed by Kai Zhu and Keith Emery in collaboration with Nam-Gyu Park (Korea), MichaelRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • UCLA promotes advances in perovskite solar cell commercial viability

    UCLA professor Yang Yang, member of the California NanoSystems Institute, is a renowned innovator of solar cell technology whose team in recent years has developed next-generation solar cells constructed of perovskite, which has a decent efficiency converting sunlight to electricity. Despite this success, the delicate nature of perovskite — a veryRead More — Solar Builder magazine

  • Report: Perovskite solar cells show potential with efficiency improvement, lowering costs

    Perovskite solar cells have shown potential both in the rapid efficiency improvement and in cheap material and manufacturing costs, says IDTechEx. Just how rapid of an efficiency improvement? Perovskite cells went from 2.2% in 2006 to the latest record 20.1% in 2014. They have attracted attention from the likes of DSSC and OPVsRead More — Solar Builder magazine
